I'm sort of excited. I've only read Crimson Empire I, with Crimson Empire II high on my list. But, from what little I've heard, when I do get around to actually getting it, I will be very excited!

And no, I cannot say Kir Kanos. No matter how hard I try. It is my shame .

I haven't read the first two volumes yet. Now I'm just waiting for the 3rd part in trade to read it all.

I've read a little bit of Crimson Empire I, but both of them are on my to-read/to-buy list. I love the artwork they've shown for Crimson Empire III. It looks beautiful. Really rich colors and stunning detail. I'll definitely be buying it._________________

Some. The preview of the Qui-Gon comics looks a little less than stellar. Not sure that's a style I could enjoy. Knight Errant's first two issues were absolutely stellar. Invasion has some really good art that keeps a nice steady pace throughout. I've found that Jan's artwork in Legacy seemed to go up and down in an issue. She would do some panels real simple, and take more time with others, so you got a mix that was overall good even though some panels were bad.

But the preview for Crimson Empire III looked absolutely solid. If it stays with that pace, then it could be one of the best illustrated Star Wars comics yet._________________

I picked up the first issue of the Qui-Gon issue. The art is a bit rough but may get better.
I haven't touched Old Republic till now with "Lost Suns" seems ok so far. Legacy Art was always good to me. My only gripe was all background Sith were red with black tatts. Not to much thought there sometimes.

Empire 3 tho does stand out. The art in the first run was very impressive._________________I hunt down Smurfs for sport....

Looks like Crimson Empire III: Empire Lost #1 is getting a variant cover. I like the coloring, even if the style leans toward more cartoonish and less detail.

Yeah the alt cover looks nice.

Should cut out the fight scene. Starscape with the Crimson helmet looks menacing
enough...._________________I hunt down Smurfs for sport....

I want this, but am intentionally waiting for the TPB. I'm holding out hope that the TPB will contain the Crimson Empire III 0 story, as found in DHP #1._________________"I'm...from Earth."

Kir Kanos, the last surviving member of Emperor Palpatine’s Royal Guards, has been “invited” to join a cadre of Imperial officers intent on returning the Empire to its former glory. Meanwhile, the rising New Republic comes under fire when assassins put Kanos’s adversary (and occasional romantic interest) Mirith Sinn in the crosshairs!

Blurb: Framed for a murder he didn’t commit, Imperial Agent Jahan Cross is on the run from Corporate Sector authorities, and uncovering the secrets behind the mysterious “Iron Eclipse” project—all without the assistance of his missing droid, IN-GA 44. But Cross is not entirely without allies, because he knows these two smugglers with a very fast ship.

I'm doing what wookiee_inked is doing. I was gonna buy the CE1 TPB but I'm gonna wait for them to finish with CE3 and release all 3 in a hardback bundle, like they did with Dark Empire._________________There's always a bigger fish - Qui Gon Jinn.

You shall learn that history is an intricate weaving of many events. No one thing can be understood without the proper context.

Do we know that they've got plans to turn the TPBs into omnibuses/hardback, for certain?_________________I am a Star Wars fan. That doesn't mean that I hate or love Jar Jar.
